Window molding for vehicle

Abstract

A window molding includes a main body and a lip part. The body includes an upper surface configured to be affixed to an inner surface of a window and the body is configured to be arranged between the inner surface and a bottom surface part of a frame. The lip part is provided on a portion of the body located on the peripheral wall part side of the frame. In an assembled state, at least a portion of the lip part extends to be closer to the bottom surface part as approaching from the body side to the peripheral wall part side, and a distance from the upper surface to the bottom surface part is defined as L. When the molding is in an unloaded state, the lip part has a portion in which the distance from the upper surface is longer than L.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A window molding for a vehicle, configured to be provided between a vehicle window and a window frame including a bottom surface part opposing an inner surface of the vehicle window and a peripheral wall part opposing an edge of the vehicle window, the window molding comprising:
 a main body including an upper surface configured to be affixed to the inner surface, the main body being configured to be arranged between the inner surface and the bottom surface part; and 
 a lip part provided on a portion of the main body located on a side of the peripheral wall part, 
 when the vehicle window and the window molding are assembled on the window frame, at least a portion of the lip part having a shape extending to be closer to the bottom surface part as approaching from a side of the main body to the side of the peripheral wall part, 
 when the vehicle window and the window molding are assembled on the window frame, a distance from the upper surface of the main body to the bottom surface part being defined as L, 
 when the window molding is in an unloaded state where the vehicle window and the window molding are not assembled on the window frame, the lip part of the window molding having a portion in which the distance from the upper surface of the main body is longer than L, and 
 when the vehicle window and the window molding are assembled on the window frame, the lip part of the window molding has a portion which comes into contact with the bottom surface part. 
 
     
     
       2. The window molding for the vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the lip part includes an internal surface and an external surface located on a side farther away from the internal surface when viewed from a vehicle compartment, and 
 a notch is provided in the internal surface or the external surface. 
 
     
     
       3. The window molding for the vehicle according to  claim 2 , wherein
 when the window molding is in the unloaded state, the notch provided in the lip part is formed at a position where the distance from the upper surface of the main body is longer than L. 
 
     
     
       4. The window molding for the vehicle according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the notch is provided in the internal surface and is provided in a base part of the lip part located between the main body and the lip part. 
 
     
     
       5. The window molding for the vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the lip part extends from a position adjacent to the upper surface of the main body. 
 
     
     
       6. The window molding for the vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the lip part includes an internal surface and an external surface located on a side farther away from the internal surface when viewed from a vehicle compartment, and 
 a notch is provided in the internal surface and the external surface. 
 
     
     
       7. The window molding for the vehicle according to  claim 6 , wherein
 when the window molding is in the unloaded state, the notch provided in the lip part is formed at a position where the distance from the upper surface of the main body is longer than L. 
 
     
     
       8. The window molding for the vehicle according to  claim 6 , wherein
 the notch that is provided in the internal surface is provided in a base part of the lip part located between the main body and the lip part.
